Hmm, interesting. Keep up your experiments midnight, and report any findings to me.

Also, While doing all this, could someone look into these three other things for me? In the serebii post, he mentions three phenomena. The “White Hand Sprite”, “Ghost Animation”, and the “Buried Alive Model”, all of which take place in the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town. If someone would read that part of the serebii post and look into it I'd be very grateful.

Actually, I now wonder if it'll affect me differently if I wore headphones. I've listened from my laptop speakers, as well as a pair of earbuds.

I just have earbuds handy. I've listened to it once, but with pauses in between (Dial up+loading=ARRGH!). No abnormalities. I'm going to reply it, but set up audio recording via Audacity and test the variables in the morning. (And at school, so if I die, it's on them)

Hmm, after you download it or w/e, try listening to it without any breaks or anything.

Also, school is a great place to die, but still, Id rather you didn't becuase even though it'd be an interesting peice for the file, there's no one who'd be able to report your findings to me, which means your death wouldn't be recorded as a result of LTS.

It's past midnight (Ironic?) and I STILL haven't downloaded it... Dial up is slow. I listened to it about 5 times, 3 without any breaks in the song, but about 2 min. in between. My head hurts. Could be to the fact I'm staring at a big glass box, but...

So, while reading the serebii thread, I came across this link. http://sonicsatam.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2211 The first post was a quote of something I've already read, but in the posts following someone discusses the binaural beats and the effects they could cause. I'm not sure I believe it just cuase it's the internet, but it's starting to look like spending too much time in lavender town really could fuck some people up.

Also, some fag stole my name.

Actually solly, I've got a lot of research to do now, but it may be possible that this could rarely cause a suicide. but it's gonna be a pain to fully say yes or no. for one thing, everyone seems to hear it differently, age doesn't seem to be a factor at all.

This might be worth more than I thought. I didn't think I'd get so much out of this story. I'll definately have to post my 13+ pages of material and such when this is said and done.

I studied the wikipedia page on binaural beats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats). Research done into them right now show that they can activate certain brainwaves depending on the frequencies (e.g. if the frequency matched Alpha waves, the person would feel mroe relaxed). I suppose you could create a frequency that would match a brain-wave more focused upon fear or whatever.

I have pain when I move while listening to it, so when I started swaying back and forth, my lower back felt like something was pushing on it. My right shoulder hurts because I was looking at other websites while listening to the song. About a minute into the song, my right eye (in the area closest to my nose) started to tingle, as while as my lips. My left hand has what feels like a muscle pain from the top of my palm to my fingers.

But overall, I feel fine. I'm 17 though, and above the "suicidal ages". Still, I definitely feel sad and creeped out, though that's probably just from my childhood and me getting nightmares from this song when I was 5.
